Two Hearts
Wildlife Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When two hearts race
They both win
They both win
Baby they both win
When two hearts race
They both win
They both win
Baby they both win

I was lost in the wild
Stuck in the middle of forests
And you guided me home
I thought that I was dying
You reached out and lifted
This bag of rattling bones

When two hearts race
They both win
They both win
Baby they both win
When two hearts race
They both win
They both win
Baby they both win

I was lost in the wild
Stuck in the middle of forests
And you guided me home
I thought that I was dying
You reached out and lifted
This bag of rattling bones

Deaf and dumb
Blind and numb
Watch as you go

Cool and calm
Carry on
How can you go

I was lost in the wild
Stuck in the middle of forests
And you guided me home
I thought that I was dying




You reached out and lifted
This bag of rattling bones

Overall Meaning

The song "Two Hearts Race" by Wildlife is a love song that focuses on the idea that when two people come together in love, they both benefit from the relationship. The repetition of the phrase "When two hearts race, they both win" underscores this idea. The singer describes feeling lost and alone, and how the person he loves helped guide him home. The metaphor of being lost in the wild suggests a sense of being out of control, without direction, wandering aimlessly. Yet the presence of the other person fuels his desire to live and to experience the world more fully.


The refrain of "They both win, baby they both win" reinforces the idea that this is not just about one person gaining at the expense of the other. Instead, it's about two people coming together and making each other better. The bridge of the song introduces more ambiguous imagery, with references to being "deaf and dumb, blind and numb." This can be read as a reflection of the singer's emotional state, feeling overwhelmed and unable to communicate. However, the singer encourages the listener to keep going, to stay cool and calm, even amidst uncertainty or hardship.


Overall, the song offers a message of hope and resilience in the face of adversity. It suggests that love can provide a source of strength and support, even in the darkest of times. The metaphor of two hearts racing together implies a sense of harmony and synchronicity, where two people are moving together towards a common goal.
